Nuts and Bolts: Lightning go for fifth straight win on Saturday vs. Sens

Six days after the Lightning's come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Senators in Ottawa, the two teams meet at Amalie Arena on Saturday night.
Tampa Bay fell behind 2-0 in the first period but rallied back to tie the game with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Yanni Gourde then scored the game-winner 14 seconds into overtime to lift the Lightning to a 4-3 divisional win.
